Good point.

Not yet, but .. _we_ can do it, of course.

How about somebody from the Eclipse/SWT side runs this effort,
ie forks from my branch @ github, or the scm.jogamp.org one
and later we merge ..

Of course I will help with the efforts, Q&A etc.

I am just a bit busy with other stuff, ie the NEWT MacOSX fixes
and finally finishing the GL4 profile.

But .. such a thing is very welcome, sooner or later it will be there.

So, any volunteer ?

Cheers, Sven
